Be part of something exceptional.
Set within the iconic The Scotsman Hotel, the Grand Café is a celebrated dining destination that blends heritage elegance with contemporary flair. Proudly holding one AA Rosette for culinary excellence, the team is now focused on an exciting goal, achieving a second Rosette this year.
We’re looking for a passionate and driven Assistant Restaurant Manager who wants to play a key role in that journey.

4. Maintaining and elevating service standards in line with Rosette aspirations
5. Taking full operational responsibility in the Manager’s absence
